١ وَهَذَا بَيَانٌ بِأَسْمَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ عَادُوا مِنَ السَّبْيِ مَعَ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِيئِيلَ وَيَشُوعَ: سَرَايَا وَيِرْمِيَا وَعِزْرَا،

6 Shemaiah, and Ioiarib, Iedaiah,

٦ وَشَمَعْيَا وَيُويَارِيبُ وَيَدَعْيَا،

7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiiah, Iedaiah: these were the chiefe of the Priests, and of their brethren in the dayes of Ieshua.

٧ وَسَلُّو وَعَامُوقُ وَيَدَعْيَا. هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُمْ فِي أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ.

8 And the Leuites, Ieshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Iudah, Mattaniah were ouer the thankesgiuings, he, and his brethren.

٨ ثُمَّ اللّاوِيُّونَ يَشُوعُ وَبِنُّويُ وَقَدْمِيئِيلُ وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَهُوذَا وَمَتَّنْيَا، الَّذِي كَانَ هُوَ وَبَقِيَّةُ أَقْرِبَائِهِ مَسْؤولِينَ عَنْ خِدْمَةِ التَّسْبِيحِ وَالْحَمْدِ.

9 And Bakbukiah and Vnni, and their brethren were about them in the watches.

٩ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ بَقْبُقْيَا وَعُنِّي قَرِيبَاهُمْ يَقِفَانِ قُبَالَتَهُمْ يُشَارِكَانِ فِي الْخِدْمَةِ.

10 And Ieshua begate Ioiakim: Ioiakim also begate Eliashib, and Eliashib begate Ioiada.

١٠ وَأَنْجَبَ يَشُوعُ يُويَاقِيمَ، وَيُويَاقِيمُ أَلِيَاشِيبَ، وَأَلِيَاشِيبُ يُويَادَاعَ،

11 And Ioiada begate Ionathan, and Ionathan begate Iaddua,

١١ وَيُويَادَاعُ يُونَاثانَ، وَيُونَاثَانُ يَدُّوعَ.

12 And in the daies of Ioiakim were these, the chiefe fathers of the Priests: vnder Seraiah was Meraiah, vnder Ieremiah, Hananiah,

١٢ وَفِي عَهْدِ يُويَاقِيمَ تَوَلَّى الْكَهَنَةُ التَّالُونَ رَئَاسَةَ عَشَائِرِ آبَائِهِمْ: مَرَايَا رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ سَرَايَا، وَحَنَنْيَا رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ يِرْمِيَا،

13 Vnder Ezra, Meshullam, vnder Amariah, Iehohanan,

١٣ وَمَشُلّامُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ عِزْرَا، وَيَهُوحَانَانُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ أَمَرْيَا،

14 Vnder Melicu, Ionathan, vnder Shebaniah, Ioseph,

١٤ وَيُونَاثَانُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ مَلِيكُو، وَيُوسُفُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ شَبْنِيَا،

15 Vnder Harim, Adna, vnder Maraioth, Helkai,

١٥ وَعَدْنَا رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ حَرِيمَ، وَحَلْقَايُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ مَرَايُوثَ،

16 Vnder Iddo, Zechariah, vnder Ginnithon, Meshullam,

١٦ وَزَكَرِيَّا رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ عِدُّو، وَمَشُلّامُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ جِنَّثُونَ،

17 Vnder Abiiah, Zichri, vnder Miniamin, and vnder Moadiah, Piltai,

١٧ وَزِكْرِي رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ أَبِيَّا: وَفِلْطَايُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ مُوعَدْيَا وَمِنْيَامِينَ،

18 Vnder Bilgah, Shammua, vnder Shemaiah, Iehonathan,

١٨ وَشَمُّوعُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ بِلْجَةَ، وَيَهُونَاثَانُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ شَمَعْيَا،

19 Vnder Ioiarib, Mattenai, vnder Iedaiah, Vzzi,

١٩ وَمَتْنَايُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ يُويَارِيبَ، وَعُزِّي رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ يَدَعْيَا،

20 Vnder Sallai, Kallai, vnder Amok, Eber,

٢٠ وَقَلّايُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ سَلَّايَ، وَعَابِرُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ عَامُوقَ،

21 Vnder Hilkiah, Hashabiah, vnder Iedaiah, Nethaneel.

٢١ وَحَشَبْيَا رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ حِلْقِيَّا، وَنَثَنْئِيلُ رَئِيساً لِعَشِيرَةِ يَدَعْيَا.

22 In the dayes of Eliashib, Ioiada, and Iohanan and Iaddua were the chiefe fathers of the Leuites written, and the Priests in the reigne of Darius the Persian.

٢٢ وَقَدْ تَمَّ تَدْوِينُ أَسْمَاءِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْعَشَائِرِ مِنْ كَهَنَةٍ وَلاوِيِّينَ فِي سِجِلِّ الأَنْسَابِ فِي حُكْمِ دَارِيُوسَ الْفَارِسِيِّ فِي أَيَّامِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ وَيُويَادَاعَ وَيُوحَانَانَ وَيَدُّوعَ

23 The sonnes of Leui, the chiefe fathers were written in the booke of the Chronicles euen vnto the dayes of Iohanan the sonne of Eliashib.

٢٣ وَكَانَتْ أَسْمَاءُ رُؤَسَاءِ عَشَائِرِ اللّاوِيِّينَ مُسَجَّلَةً فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ حَتَّى زَمَانِ يُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ.

24 And the chiefe of the Leuites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Ieshua the sonne of Kadmiel, and their brethren about them to giue prayse and thankes, according to the ordinance of Dauid the man of God, ward ouer against warde.

٢٤ وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ اللّاوِيِّينَ حَشَبْيَا وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ قَدْمِيئِيلَ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُمُ الْوَاقِفُونَ مُقَابِلَهُمْ يَقُومُونَ بِمَرَاسِمِ الْحَمْدِ وَالتَّسْبِيحِ، بِمُوْجِبِ أَمْرِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ اللهِ، فَكَانَتْ نَوْبَةٌ تَقِفُ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ نَوْبَةٍ.

25 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon and Akkub were porters keeping the warde at the thresholds of the gates.

٢٥ أَمَّا مَتَّنْيَا وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُوبَدْيَا وَمَشُلّامُ وَطَلْمُونُ وَعَقُّوبُ فَكَانُوا حُرَّاسَ أَبْوَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ يَحْرُسُونَ مَخَازِنَ الأَبْوَابِ.

26 These were in the dayes of Ioiakim, the sonne of Ieshua, the sonne of Iozadak, and in the dayes of Nehemiah the captaine, and of Ezra the Priest and scribe.

٢٦ هَؤُلاءِ خَدَمُوا فِي أَيَّامِ يُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ صَادُوقَ وَفِي عَهْدِ نَحَمْيَا الْوَالِي وَعِزْرَا الْكَاهِنِ الْكَاتِبِ.

27 And in the dedication of the wall at Ierusalem they sought the Leuites out of all their places to bring them to Ierusalem to keepe the dedication and gladnes, both with thankesgiuings and with songs, cymbales, violes and with harpes.

٢٧ وَعِنْدَ تَدْشِينِ سُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ اسْتَدْعَوْا اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَوَاطِنِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِكَيْ يُدَشِّنُوا بِفَرَحٍ وَبِحَمْدٍ وَتَرْنِيمٍ بِالصُّنُوجِ وَالرَّبَابِ وَالْعِيدَانِ.

28 Then the singers gathered themselues together both from the plaine countrey about Ierusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,

٢٨ فَاحْتَشَدَ الْمُرَنِّمُونَ قَادِمِينَ مِنَ الضَّوَاحِي الْمُحِيطَةِ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَمِنْ ضِيَاعِ النَّطُوفَاتِيِّ،

29 And from the house of Gilgal, and out of the countreis of Geba, and Azmaueth: for the singers had built them villages round about Ierusalem.

٢٩ وَمِنْ بَيْتِ الْجِلْجَالِ وَمِنْ حُقُولِ جَبَعَ وَعَزْمُوتَ لأَنَّ الْمُرَتِّلِينَ بَنَوْا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ ضِيَاعاً حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

30 And the Priests and Leuites were purified, and clensed the people, and the gates, and the wall.

٣٠ وَتَقَدَّسَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ وَطَهَّرُوا الشَّعْبَ وَالأَبْوَابَ والسُّورَ،

31 And I brought vp the princes of Iudah vpon the wall, and appointed two great companies to giue thankes, and the one went on the right hand of the wall toward the dung gate.

٣١ وَأَصْعَدْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا عَلَى السُّورِ، وَأَقَمْتُ أَيْضاً فِرْقَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُرَتِّلِينَ بِالْحَمْدِ، فَانْطَلَقَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي مَوْكِبٍ يَمِيناً فِي اتِّجَاهِ بَابِ الدِّمْنِ،

32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and halfe of the princes of Iudah,

٣٢ وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهَا هُوشَعْيَا وَنِصْفُ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا،

33 And Azariah, Ezra and Meshullam,

٣٣ وَعَزَرْيَا وَعِزْرَا وَمَشُلّامُ،

34 Iudah, Beniamin, and Shemaiah, and Ieremiah,

٣٤ وَيَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينُ وَشَمَعْيَا وَيِرْمِيَا،

35 And of the Priests sonnes with trumpets, Zechariah the sonne of Ionathan, the sonne of Shemaiah, the sonne of Mattaniah, the sonne of Michaiah, the sonne of Zaccur, ye sonne of Asaph.

٣٥ وَمِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ النَّافِخِينَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَمَعْيَا بْنِ مَتَّنْيَا بْنِ مِيخَايَا بْنِ زَكُّورَ بْنِ آسَافَ،

36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Iudah, Hanani, with the musicall instruments of Dauid the man of God: and Ezra the scribe went before them.

٣٦ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُ شَمَعْيَا وَعَزَرْئِيلُ وَمِلَلايُ وَجِلَلايُ وَمَاعَايُ وَنَثَنْئِيلُ وَيَهُوذَا وَحَنَانِي عَازِفِينَ عَلَى آلاتِ غِنَاءِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ اللهِ، يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ عِزْرَا الْكَاتِبُ.

37 And to the gate of the fountaine, euen ouer against them went they vp by the staires of the citie of Dauid, at the going vp of the wall beyond the house of Dauid, euen vnto the water gate Eastward.

٣٧ وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلُوا إِلَى بَابِ الْعَيْنِ ارْتَقَوْا الدَّرَجَ الْمُؤَدِّيَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ بِمُوَازَاةِ مُرْتَقَى السُّورِ فَوْقَ قَصْرِ دَاوُدَ، وَاتَّجَهُوا نَحْوَ بَابِ الْمَاءِ شَرْقاً.

38 And the seconde companie of them that gaue thankes, went on the other side, and I after them, and the halfe of the people was vpon the wall, and vpon the towre of the furnaces euen vnto the broad wall.

٣٨ وَسَارَتِ الْفِرْقَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ الْمُرَتِّلِينَ بِالْحَمْدِ مُقَابِلَهُمْ فِي مَوْكِبٍ، وَأَنَا وَرَاءَهَا فِي طَلِيعَةِ نِصْفِ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي اكْتَظَّ بِهِ السُّورُ، مِنْ عِنْدِ بُرْجِ التَّنَانِيرِ إِلَى السُّورِ الْعَرِيضِ.

39 And vpon the gate of Ephraim, and vpon the olde gate, and vpon the fishgate, and the towre of Hananeel, and the towre of Meah, euen vnto the sheepegate: and they stood in the gate of the warde.

٣٩ وَمِنْ فَوْقِ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَفَوْقَ الْبَابِ الْعَتِيقِ وَفَوْقَ بَابِ السَّمَكِ وَبُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ وَبُرْجِ الْمِئَةِ إِلَى بَابِ الضَّأْنِ وَتَوَقَّفُوا عِنْدَ بَابِ السِّجْنِ.

40 So stood the two companies (of them that gaue thankes) in the house of God, and I and the halfe of the rulers with me.

٤٠ ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْفِرْقَتَانِ الْمُرَتِّلَتَانِ بِالْحَمْدِ فِي هَيْكَلِ اللهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَنَا وَنِصْفُ الْقَادَةِ،

41 The Priests also, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets,

٤١ وَالْكَهَنَةُ أَلِيَاقِيمُ وَمَعْسِيَا وَمِنْيَامِينُ وَمِيخَايَا وَأَلْيُوعِينَايُ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَحَنَنْيَا مِنْ نَافِخِي الأَبْوَاقِ،

42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Vzzi, and Iehohanan, and Malchiiah, and Elam, and Ezer: and the singers sang loude, hauing Izrahiah which was the ouerseer.

٤٢ وَمَعْسِيَا وَشَمَعْيَا وَأَلِعَازَارُ وَعُزِّي وَيَهُوحَانَانُ وَمَلْكِيَّا وَعِيلامُ وَعَازَرُ، وَالْمُرَتِّلُونَ الَّذِينَ رَنَّمُوا بِقِيَادَةِ يِزْرَحْيَا.

43 And the same day they offered great sacrifices and reioyced: for God had giuen them great ioy, so that both the women, and the children were ioyfull: and the ioy of Ierusalem was heard farre off.

٤٣ وَذَبَحُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَرَابِينَ كَثِيرَةً وَفَرِحُوا لأَنَّ اللهَ مَلأَهُمْ بِغِبْطَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَابْتَهَجَ الأَوْلادُ وَالنِّسَاءُ أَيْضاً حَتَّى تَرَدَّدَتْ أَصْدَاءُ فَرَحِ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ.

44 Also at the same time were men appointed ouer the chambers of the store for the offerings (for the first fruites, and for the tithes) to gather into them out of the fieldes of the cities, the portions of the Law for the Priests and the Leuites: for Iudah reioyced for the Priests and for the Leuites, that serued.

٤٤ وَعُهِدَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ بِالْمَخَازِنِ وَالْخَزَائِنِ وَالرَّفَائِعِ وَأَوَائِلِ الْمَحَاصِيلِ وَالْعُشُورِ إِلَى أَشْخَاصٍ مُعَيَّنِينَ، لِيَجْمَعُوا فِيهَا مِنْ حُقُولِ الْمُدُنِ مَا نَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّرِيعَةُ مِنْ مُخَصَّصَاتِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، لأَنَّ أَبْنَاءَ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا فَرِحُوا بِالْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ الْقَائِمِينَ

45 And both the singers and the Leuites kept the ward of their God, and the warde of the purification according to the commandement of Dauid, and Salomon his sonne.

٤٥ بِخِدْمَةِ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَخَدَمَاتِ التَّطْهِيرِ، وَكَذَلِكَ بِالْمُرَتِّلِينَ وَحُرَّاسِ أَبْوَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْمُتَوَلِّينَ مَهَامَّهُمْ، بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ دَاوُدَ وَابْنِهِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

46 For in the dayes of Dauid and Asaph, of olde were chiefe singers, and songs of praise and thankesgiuing vnto God.

٤٦ فَقَدْ تَعَيَّنَ مُنْذُ أَيَّامِ دَاوُدَ وَآسَافَ فِي الْحِقَبِ الْغَابِرَةِ رُؤَسَاءُ مُرَتِّلِينَ لِقِيَادَةِ تَرَانِيمِ التَّسْبِيحِ وَالْحَمْدِ لِلهِ.

47 And in the dayes of Zerubbabel, and in the dayes of Nehemiah did al Israel giue portions vnto the singers and porters, euerie day his portion, and they gaue the holy things vnto the Leuites, and the Leuites gaue the holy things vnto the sonnes of Aaron.

٤٧ وَكَانَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي أَيَّامِ زَرُبَّابِلَ وَنَحَمْيَا يَقُومُونَ بِتَزْوِيدِ الْمُرَتِّلِينَ وَحُرَّاسِ أَبْوَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ بِالطَّعَامِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، وَيَقُومُ اللّاوِيُّونَ بِتَقْدِيمِ جُزْءٍ مِمَّا يَتَلَقَّوْنَهُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ لِلْكَهَنَةِ.
